Hello. To anyone that is looking for Wilderness and Wildfire, this message is for you. Due to some setbacks in life, I did not finish editing the story until last month. However, I HAVE finished editing Wilderness!!!  This may not seem like big news to you, but it’s the first step of publishing!  As of right now it is in the hands of trusted beta readers. Once it is back to me with any notes, then publishing will really begin. 
          	
          	I have decided that I want to traditionally publish Wilderness and the other books that follow it. So I am reaching out to professionals to hopefully make that happen. However, I had given myself a time limit on traditional publishing. If no one has picked up the series by the time limit I have given myself - I WILL be self publishing. Please understand that I plan to do this right, and doing this the right way will take time. 
          	
          	While I cannot share more details at this time, know that I haven’t forgotten you or these stories, I can only legally say so much right now. 
          	
          	I will not now or ever be posting these stories on this site again or any other. I will only be pursuing traditional or self publishing for the Wilderness series. Should you see it posted somewhere, it’s not me, and please alert me asap!
          	
          	While I will always update you here -when I have something I can legally tell- would anyone be interested in a social media to follow for updates that way?  If so please let me know. 
          	
          	Otherwise I’ll be writing silly fanfic things on ao3 under this same name when I feel like it and can update.

Hello friends.  As you have noticed Wilderness and Wildfire are currently not available.  I took them down for editing and hope to have more info on that in the coming months.  As another note, after watching a lot of messy drama happen here for far too long, I find myself spending less and less time here on our orange more YA centered site.  You may be wondering where I am?  In Archives of red and white are where I am spending hOurs my tim3 these days.  Semi-cryptic I know but some people get their panties in a bunch when you mention other places or valid distaste here, even though I see talented writers leaving in droves because their work is being hidden because it's more mature than 'teen'.  So while Wilderness and Wildfire aren't anywhere currently because I'm editing them - again (with the hope to publish them), I'm more active in other places and even debating creating an account on our favorite clock app if you would even be interested in following so you never have to wonder if I just dropped off the face of the planet. ;)

Well, it’s clear by now my holiday time off didn’t go as planned.  We adopted a puppy the week before Thanksgiving - also finals week with school.  I’m crazy I know.  After getting through finals and Thanksgiving.  I got sick at the first of December only to get better two weeks before Christmas.  That was when my husband got Covid from an unmasked coworker.  Then, you guessed it, because we live in the same house, I got it too.  I was very very lucky in that I had a mild case.  I am still trying to get over Covid a month later.  I seriously debated taking a semester off to get well, that’s how sick I still am.  But since I worked so hard to get into my dream school, I didn’t want to lose a semester now.  So I’m here.  Still sick, but I saw my doctor today to try to work on getting well and back to ‘normal’.  Please, please please get vaccinated and boosted if you can.  And please please please wear a good mask properly when out of your home.  You do not want this.  I blessedly had a mild case, but my body is NOT the same it was before Covid.  I’m still sick a month after my quarantine.  Just because on a piece of paper I have ‘survived’ does NOT mean I am by any means back to normal.  I know so very many other people in my situation or worse at the moment.  You.do.not.want.covid.  I’m lucky, I know it could have been much worse for me, I’m so thankful, but still so very careful.  All of that said to say I didn’t get to write at all over my break and it’s killing me.  I needed it so much for my mental health and I didn’t get it.  Thankfully I made the decision not to do a full course load this semester, so once I feel a bit better I’m hoping to write again.  I miss it.  And I miss all of you.  Please know that I’m still here, I still think about all of you, and I want to write again desperately.  But at the moment I’m trying to heal so I CAN write more.  Thank you for being here, it means the world to me.  Stay safe, I’m here and there will be more soon. ;)
